I can tell you that the "handy row of function keys" on the TVI 905 is
completely and utterly USELESS:  each key can contain only SEVEN (7) bytes.
Even when logged into a Unix machine, that's a rather tight squeeze.  Okay,
so "rogue" + a <CR> is only SIX bytes 8-)

In praise of the 905, however, I can say that the display is crisp and the
characters are large and very comfortable to read.  You can get amber on the
905 if you prefer it to green.  So if you're able to live with severely
limited fkeys, go for it.  But if you have a couple extra bucks, the 955 is
a much nicer terminal - same physically, but greatly enhanced firmware.

No, I don't work for Televideo, but I've used practically every bloody
terminal they've ever made.  Some suck, some amaze.  Maybe someday they'll
put all the great features into one terminal, and all the shitty features
into another, and of course my boss will buy the latter. 8-) 8-(

Terminally yours,
